A report I share each month on the progress of my portfolio of stocks and mutual funds with reasons of each and every stock that I own along with contract notes of trades executed in the current month and share plan for the coming month.
Note: This is not my complete portfolio in the market and I may have open trading positions as well as some previous investments prior to Jan 2016 and other riskier small and micro cap investments.
Demonetisation and Donald Trump as US president in November provided awesome investment opportunities. I did invest in Ashok Leyland and as planned did profit booking in L&T.
My view is emerging markets will see an outflow of funds in next couple of quarters because:
Too many triggers for the market to remain sluggish can be once in a lifetime opportunity to build a long-term investment portfolio in 2017.
I have invested 30k in November (Transaction details here) and will keep investing as planned of 30k per month in the ELSS.
As always I select the dividend option so I get full tax saving benefit and get back dividend that I can deploy in stocks.
Pidilite was a safe bet in my portfolio. Ironically it is the top loser now. There are many reasons for it to be a top loser but I am confident it will recover soon.
A recent investment that has significant weight on my portfolio and it is one of those sectors that may have after effect of demonetization.
The biggest lesson learned holding Pidilite is, always keep room to invest more in corrections.
I had plans to book profit in L&T and did as per the plan though I expected a better price to book profit. The reason I booked profits was:
I sense auto sector will be the market leader to lead the next bull run in the coming few years.
In the short run, demonetization will have an impact on the auto industry and in my opinion, this is the best time for investment in the auto sector.
Smartphones made disruptive changes to the telecom industry and companies like Nokia and Blackberry could not keep up the pace with it. I see similar things happening in the auto sector very soon.
Indian auto sector never moved from a liquid (petrol and diesel) to gas based fuels but I am sure it will adopt electric vehicles very early due to benefits in pollution control and cost effectiveness.
Electric cars will eventually weed out diesel, petrol and even CNG vehicles and companies investing in R&D of electric vehicles will have an early mover advantage.
Maruti was available at such a mouth watering level that I was not able to decide on Ashok Leyland. I was in double mind to buy Maruti at 4,850 or Ashok Leyland at 78 and the day Maruti ran up past 5,000, I took a call on Ashok Leyland.
I follow my fundamental analysis principles for investing in any stock and Ashok Leyland is no different.
Apart from those,
Still there are couple of points to consider.
In March 2015, 70+ was a resistance for the stock and in the current correction of 110ish, it has bounced twice from 72 (top blue line) which will act as an intermediate support.
The best buying range will eventually be between 64 and 72 and with so much negative news waiting for the auto sector, I think it can slide down in between the blue lines.
Once it slides below 72 and touches 64, will accumulate more once I see 64 as bottom being tested and not breached.
I have added 1000 shares of Ashok Leyland to my portfolio at Rs 79.15. Contract notes here.
A side note:- I have moved away from ShareKhan and into Zerodha for all my investment. You can read about my Zerodha review here
Increase in investment from ₹13,83,094 to ₹14,63,886. An increase of ₹80,792 in the month of November. The performance of the portfolio built so far is as follows:
Total Profit Realized: 12,060
Total Dividend Received: 11,881
Stocks I am holding in my portfolio along with the link to why I have invested in them.
I would like to keep cash ready to be deployed in Ashok Leyland as and when I get an opportunity in the midst of low November sales volume numbers of Maruti, Hero Moto or even bad November GDP number.
Apart from Ashok Leyland, I will continue investing in my DSPBR ELSS fund as planned.
